MEHAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif called on people to stop the “Go [Zardari] Go” slogans, as it was time for the “Come, Come [PML-N]” slogans. Sharif criticised Pakistan People's Party (PPP) for playing the Sindh card often but not doing anything for the people of the province. 

Addressing a rally in Mehar on Monday, Nawaz said he himself visited Sindh every week during the devastating floods and brought tons of relief goods for the people.

“I immediately reached the people of Sindh, well before any other politician,” Nawaz said, adding he did it only because he loves them. “What I did for Sindh was not a favour but my responsibility towards the people,” he said.

The PML-N leader further said he told Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif not to wait and to start relief activities in the flood-hit areas.

“Shahbaz had sent 1,000 trucks full of necessary items to Sindh right away,” he said.

The PML-N Chief reminded people that the leaders they voted for had done nothing for them. He assured that if the people of Sindh bring him in power in Sindh, he will end all the problems faced by them.

“We will end daku raj in Sindh,” he added.

Not congratulating Gilani

Nawaz said Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani complained that I had not congratulated him for completing four years in power. “I question what should I be congratulating him for?, for the bad economy, for rising inflation or for all the miseries they have caused,” he said.

Laptops for all

Praising his free laptops scheme in Punjab, Nawaz said students of Sindh are equally deserving and should be getting computers as well.

“Students across Pakistan should get free laptops,” he added.

Punjab government 

Highlighting Punjab government’s achievements in the province, Nawaz said his party has served the people after coming to power.

“If there is a lot of work done in Punjab and not in other provinces, this proves that PML-N is serving its people well,” he said.

“If you want to see similar progress in Sindh, then vote for us,” he added.

Emphasising the problems of Sindh, Nawaz said deserving students don’t get admission in universities for higher education and people have to bribe authorities to get a job. He added that there is lack of clean working water.

“Promises made by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) can only be seen in their advertisements and not in reality,” he criticised.

@Hamid Umair: But no respect in the hearts and minds of ordinary Pakistanis... at least not any more

Its shame that we still consider Zardari and Nawaz Sharif our leaders, even both proved times and again that they were more loyal to themselves than Pakistan. This Samjhota Express must be derailed now. Otherwise we'll have to pay more heavy price.

PTI is the only viable option in this scenario. Long live PTI, long live Imran Khan.
